SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE PRECAUTIONS

Read this Installation Guide thoroughly before installation. This will help to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Remove all packaging materials from your appliance.
Install according to instructions. See page 6-10 to insure proper installation and servicing.
Be sure to have a qualified service technician install and ground this appliance.
Plug into rated outlet: 120 Volts AC, 5 amp min., 15 amp maximum circuit requirement.

PREHEATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Warming Drawer is designed to keep cooked foods warm for extended periods of time. The drawer must be pre-heated before use on high (see Use and Care Guide). If the warming drawer isn’t pre-heated, the internal temperature of the food being warmed could fall below the minimum safe level and bacteria could develop. Always preheat the drawer according to the instructions described in the warming drawer Use and Care Guide.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.
Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round door handle and may grab and open the warming drawer. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if it is in use and hot.

WARNING:

Do not store items of interest to children in, above or around any appliance. Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to reach these items.
Be certain to use only dry pot holders: Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

Never store anything in the warming drawer. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined.
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the drawer. Some fabrics are quite flammable and could catch on fire.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance, never sit, stand, or lean on the warming drawer door.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while using this appliance.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the warming drawer. Using a foil liner could result in a fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of heat and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the performance of the warming drawer parts.

WARNING:

This appliance is designed for warming food. Based on safety considerations, never use the warming drawer to warm or heat a room.

As with any cooking or heating appliance, never leave the warming drawer unattended when warming food, this could be a fire hazard.
Only certain types of glass, heat proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or glazes are suitable for use in this warming drawer. Utensils that are not thermally heat safe may break with sudden temperature changes.
Never heat unopened containers, a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
Grease is flammable, avoid letting grease deposits collect in the warming drawer, clean up spillage.
120 Volts AC, 5 amp min., 15 amp maximum circuit requirement.
DO NOT use water on grease fires. Turn OFF the warming drawer, then smother the fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
When opening the drawer while keeping sauces warm, tomato sauce, etc., the drawer must be opened slowly to avoid spillage.
Use care when opening a hot warming drawer; to avoid severe burns, open slowly, allow the hot air or steam to escape before reaching in to remove or replace any foods.
Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified Service Technician. Service Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this appliance.
When using the warming drawer: DO NOT TOUCH THE INTERIOR SURFACES or the exterior area immediately surrounding the door until it has had sufficient time to cool to avoid burn injuries.
Clean the warming drawer with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the appliance while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
Be sure all the controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
Do not touch the heating element or interior surfaces of the warming drawer, even if they appear dark in color. They may still be hot enough to cause burn injury. Allow sufficient time to cool.
Do not allow flammable materials which may ignite to come in contact with the hot heating element or the interior surface of the warming drawer until the unit has had a sufficient time to cool.

FEATURES

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIFICATIONS

The cabinet depth from the outer edge of the face frame to the inside back of the cabinet or wall should be at least 24” (see Fig. 02).
The Warming Drawer should be installed into a base cabinet with minimum outside dimensions of 13-1/4” high by 30” wide by 24” deep.
Power supply required: 120Volts AC; 5 amp min., 15 amp maximum circuit requirement.

MOUNTING INSTALLATION

The lower rear corners of the cabinet need to provide proper support to the back of the Warming Drawer and the anti-tip mounting clips. A 120 volt AC outlet should be located no further than 36 inches from the back center of the Warming Drawer.
The bottom rear section of the cabinet should be made of solid plywood or two 2×4 beam. It holds the anti-tip mounting clips and supports the weight of Warming Drawer, which is 90 lbs. (see Fig. 06 and 07). If two 2×4 beams are used, the distance between their centers must be 20” to be able to secure the Warming Drawer.

STEP 1
Use the screws provided and attach the mounting clips. They must be installed for anti-tip safety to the bottom support at the back. See placement dimensions in figure below (see Fig. 06 and 07).

STEP 2
Plug power cord into AC outlet. Slide the body onto the anti-tip mounting clips (see Fig. 07).

STEP 3
Use the two supplied 1-1/2” long screws through the two embossed holes (see Fig. 08) to secure the front of the Warming Drawer.

CUSTOM PANEL INSTALLATION OF THE WARMING DRAWER INTEGRATED (WDTI)

STEP 1
Remove drawer as per instructions (see Use & Care Manual).

STEP 2
Check the dimensions of the front face (see fig. 09).

STEP 3
Cut the custom panel to the desired dimensions, knowing that the panel must cover the paper front template plus 1/8” on all four sides for a good presentation. The thickness of the custom panel must be greater than 9/16” to allow for clearance for the tips of the screws holding the drawer when the custom panel is mounted.

STEP 4
Center the provided paper front template on the back of the custom panel to drill or cut the clearance areas for the hardware holding the drawer. (Note: the drill sizes and callouts are on the template.)

STEP 5
Fasten the custom panel to the front face with the supplied screws as shown in fig. 09.
